The Facebook Effect
The Inside Story of the Company That Is Connecting the World
- 1award
- customer reviews
- freshman reading
Veteran technology reporter David Kirkpatrick had the full cooperation of Facebook's key executives in researching this fascinating history of the company and its impact on our lives. Kirkpatrick tells us how Facebook was created, why it has flourished, and where it is going next. He chronicles its successes and missteps, and gives readers the most complete assessment anywhere of founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg, the central figure in the company's remarkable ascent. This is the Facebook story that can be found nowhere else.
How did a nineteen-year-old Harvard student create a company that has transformed the Internet and how did he grow it to its current enormous size? Kirkpatrick shows how Zuckerberg steadfastly refused to compromise his vision, insistently focusing on growth over profits and preaching that Facebook must dominate (his word) communication on the Internet. In the process, he and a small group of key executives have created a company that has changed social life in the United States and elsewhere, a company that has become a ubiquitous presence in marketing, altering politics, business, and even our sense of our own identity. This is the Facebook Effect.

The Beginning
"We have opened up Thefacebook for popular consumption at Harvard University."
Sophomore Mark Zuckerberg arrived at his dorm room in Harvard's Kirkland House in September 2003 dragging an eight-foot-long whiteboard, the geek's consummate brainstorming tool. It was big and unwieldy, like some of the ideas he would diagram there. There was only one wall of the four-person suite long enough to hold it—the one in the hallway on the way to the bedrooms. Zuckerberg, a computer science major, began scribbling away.
The wall became a tangle of formulas and symbols sprouting... see more

Kentucky Senator Rand Paul introduced the National-Right-to-Work act this week. The legislation strips current labor law of forced unionisim language which can prevent some Americans who seek employement from obtaining a job.
"Every American worker deserves the right to freedom of association - and I am concerned that the 26 states that allow forced union membership and dues infringes on these workers' rights," Sen. Paul said on his website. "Right to work laws ensure that all Americans are given the choice to refrain from joining or paying dues to a union as a condition for employment. Nearly 80 percent of all Americans support the principles and so I have introduced a national Right to Work Act that will require all states to give their workers the freedom to choose."
Paul describes six current provisions in the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA) and the Railway Labor Act (RLA) as "freedom crushing" and "infringing," pointing out there are 8 million workers who are currently forced by law to pay union dues.
Paul is sure to see major push back on this, especially when it comes to Harry Reid in the Senate. Considering we just saw President Obama's appointments for the NLRB struck down by a court, he'll be in no mood to deal with this either.

Like the truth, is another sequel out there?
Gillian Anderson and David Duchovny, the stars of TV's The X-Files and its two hit film sequels, certainly hinted at that possibility on Thursday at Comic-Con in San Diego.
Delighting fans who came to celebrate the show's 20th anniversary, Anderson, 44, said she would not be interested in doing the series again but added – to a roar of audience approval – that "a film would be great."

Sofia Vergara may be the break-out star of Modern Family, but now her younger sister is stepping into the spotlight.
Sandra Vergara – who is Sofia's biological cousin and adopted sister – just landed a role on an upcoming episode of CSI, TV Line reports. Sandra, 24, will play Latin pop star Silvana, who is about to make her debut in the U.S. when her sister Marta is killed. Silvana has to keep her cool and figure out who she can trust once the murderer comes after her.
Meanwhile, Kristen Stewart and Will Ferrell have found themselves on the wrong side of the law.

Gillian Anderson is single again.
The former X-Files star, 43, has parted ways with Mark Griffiths, her partner since 2006, her rep confirms to PEOPLE.
They have two children, sons Oscar, 5, and Felix, 3.
This is not the first serious relationship that has ended for Anderson. She split from husband Clyde Klotz – with whom she has a daughter – in 1997, and with second husband Julian Ozanne in 2006.

X-Files star Gillian Anderson and boyfriend Mark Griffiths are parents of a baby boy, the actress's rep tells PEOPLE exclusively.
Felix Griffiths, weighing 6 lbs., 15 oz., was born Oct. 15 in London, says rep Kelly Bush.
Felix is the second child for Anderson, 40, with Griffiths, joining their 1-year-old son Oscar. Anderson also has a 14-year-old daughter, Piper, from a previous marriage.

Pregnant Gillian Anderson gave the audience quite a scare Wednesday night, when she lost her balance and fell to the floor at the London premiere of How to Lose Friends and Alienate People.
As director Robert Weide introduced the movie – which also stars Kirsten Dunst and Megan Fox – he joked that Anderson going into labor that night would be great publicity.
Anderson, 40, then went on stage, in a floor-grazing Alice Temperley dress, and threw a fake punch at Weide. But she lost her balance and ended up falling to the ground, drawing gasps from the crowd at the Empire Leicester Square.

Screaming fans begged for autographs and waved homemade signs Wednesday night at the U.K. premiere of The X-Files: I Want to Believe.
"It's gratifying that people love the show so much," David Duchovny, 47 – star of the movie and the cult hit television series – told reporters.
But is this the end for the X-Files and its heroes, F.B.I. agents Fox Mulder and Dana Scully?
The movie – the second feature film based on the sci-fi series that ended in 2002 – generated a moderate $10.2 million at the U.S. box office. Now international moviegoers may shed some light on whether there's another sequel.
"We did this [movie] so that it's a possibility that it's the last time you'll see Mulder and Scully," director Chris Carter, 51, said on the red carpet. "We didn't do this as the last one. We did it as if it could be the last one."

Photo: Screengrab from ABC NewsKerry Campbell, the California mom who boasted about giving her 8-year-old daughter Botox injections to make her a contender on the child beauty pageant circuit, is now under investigation by the San Francisco Human Services Agency, ABC News reported Friday.
The investigation began shortly after 34-year-old Campbell, a part-time aesthetician, went on Good Morning America with her daughter, Britney, to talk about using the anti-aging procedure on the third grader. The segment showed pictures of Campbell administering the shots herself.
Spray tans, eye-brow waxing, fake teeth (called "flippers"), false eyelashes, and wigs are all par for the course in the "Toddlers and Tiaras" world of kiddie beauty pageants. But Botox?
Campbell told reporter Lara Spencer that Britney was the one who wanted to try the injections, but then explained that she brought it up herself and her third grader "was all for it."
"We were getting into the pageants," Campbell recalled. "I knew she was complaining about her face, having wrinkles, and things like that."
Photo: Screengrab from ABC NewsWhat wrinkles develop on an 8-year-old who still sports plenty of healthy baby fat? The lines and dimples that appear when she smiles, apparently. To get rid of them, Britney's mom gives her five injections of the nerve-paralyzing toxin every three months or so (she told Spencer that she gets the Botox from "a trusted source" whom she refuses to name but says is "behind the doctor scene." But earlier, she told "The Sun" that she buys the Botox online and tests it out on herself first.)
But all it takes is one slip of the needle to do significant damage. Last year, Emmy-award winning actress Dana Delany described how her dermatologist hit a nerve in her forehead, permanently deadening the nerve and causing her right eye to droop.
According to the manufacturer's website, Botox is approved for treatment of certain neurological disorders and medical problems in children, but it is not approved for cosmetic use in people younger than 18. The cosmetic form of Botox is intended to be used on the forehead only, not around the mouth or eyes (which is where Kerry was photographed injecting her 8-year-old daughter). Side effects can include problems swallowing, speaking, or breathing, and the botulinum toxin can spread to other areas, causing blurred vision, drooping eyelids, change or loss of voice, loss of bladder control, and trouble speaking.
Campbell says she's not really worried about long-term effects, and that "we don't do so much to where it's going to make a big difference." But what she's doing is enough to win the single mom an investigation from child services in California.
"As a doctor, if I'd seen this mother, I would be required to report her to protective services because it's maltreatment," said ABC News' chief health and medical editor, Dr. Richard Besser. "Any doctor who would give a parent botox to administer to their children should lose their license… there's not a state where you don't need to be a licensed doctor or under direct supervision of a doctor to inject this."
"In a young child, if you're chronically using it on the face, it may actually change the shape of your face because your muscles interact with your bones to form what your face eventually looks like," Besser added.
From the video, it's obvious that Britney doesn't really know why she puts up with the painful injections. Her mother prompts her to mention the wrinkles, and when asked how she looks after the treatments, she says, "Beautiful, pretty, all those kinds of nice words."
"It hurts sometimes," Britney admits. "It makes me nervous. But I get used to it."
"What I am doing for Britney now will help her become a star," Campbell told "The Sun" in an interview. "I know one day she will be a model, actress or singer, and having these treatments now will ensure she stays looking younger and baby-faced for longer." She swears that other pageant moms are subjecting their little princesses to the anti-aging beauty procedure, too. But pageant insiders disagree.
"This is not what pageantry is about," Valerie Walker, a veteran pageant coach, told ABC. "I'm sorry to say she's only doing a disservice to her child and will never win the title she seeks."

Cellar/Tasting Notes "Coffee and ripe plum, with hints of prune on the nose. Full-bodied, with beautiful fruit and supersilky tannins. Long and gorgeous. Best ever from here."
Cellar/Tasting Notes Jam-packed, with mouthfilling notes of blackberry preserves, crushed blueberry, plum skin and anise, showing loads of singed wood spice and briar for a lively texture.

Cellar/Tasting Notes "Straight down the line, this wine shows fruit and acidity. The tannins are relatively soft while the fruit is forward. Blackberries, coffee and licorice notes all come together."
Cellar/Tasting Notes The finest Canon since the 1982, the 2009 (75% Merlot and 25% Cabernet Franc) reveals a dense blue/purple color along with a classic nose of chalk dust, blueberries, black raspberries, black currants and a touch of wood smoke.

Cellar/Tasting Notes Tiny yields, malolactic in barrel, aging on its lees and no fining or filtration produced an exotic, full-throttle St.-Emilion boasting an explosive nose of blueberry pie, lead pencil shavings, black truffles, camphor, incense and toasty oak. Made in a borderline extreme style, the wine is..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "Initially the wine is all firm tannins, but then there is a pure line of fresh black fruits that comes through, with cranberry tannins and blackberry jamminess. Above it all, is succulent richness and clear acidity. A beautifully shaped wine."
Cellar/Tasting Notes "The 2006 Pavie, a blend of 70% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Franc, and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon, is cropped low as the viticultural work is impeccable, the winemaking is thoroughly Burgundian in style, and bottling is accomplished with no fining or filtration. With over 90 acres in vine, this is one of the..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "A ripe year like 2009 is kind to the Cabernet Sauvignon of Château Figeac. The wine is perfumed with new wood and sweet fruits, delicious black currant flavors giving both ripeness and freshness. The wine has weight and impressive density. A star of the vintage."
Cellar/Tasting Notes Bottled the week before I arrived, the 2009 Pavie appears to have barely budged since I tasted it two years ago. Many experts consider this phenomenal terroir to be nearly as great as that of Ausone. Made from a classic blend of 60-70% Merlot, 20-25% Cabernet Franc and the rest Cabernet Sauvignon,..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "This is a fabulous wine, with that tell-tale, dense, inky blue color that Angelus always seems to achieve.

As airlines face new challenges seemingly every day now, the temptation exists for them to bolster their financials by selling off portions of the operations and reaping the benefits. One interesting asset that has garnered attention in recent years is the airline frequent flyer program.
A new white paper – "Spinning Off Frequent Flyer Programs in Turbulent Times" – issued by the loyalty marketing expert Evert de Boer, senior director, Global Airline Practice, Carlson Marketing, explores the pros and cons of spinning off frequent flyer programs in light of the current economic climate.
According to de Boer, there are six good reasons for selling off an airline's frequent flyer program.
- Raise Capital
- Unlock Value
- Improve Margins
- Accelerate Revenue Growth
- Achieve Economies of Scale
- Improve CRM (customer relationship management) and Data Analytical Capabilities
Of course, if there were only good reasons, everyone would do it. He cites seven cautions as well.
- Program Delivery considering how intertwined the program is in the airline operations
- New Owners May Have a Short-term View
- Unpredictability of Future Events
- Capital Gain is a One-off
- Imbalance of Power Between the Frequent Flyer Program and the Airline
- Impact of Global Alliances
- Current Liabilities
Additional Considerations
The current economic downturn adds another set of wrinkles to be evaluated and their impact debated based on the individual airline's situation.
- Less Capital Available to Buy the Program
- Less Travel and Lower Consumer Spending
- Higher Incidence Rate of Credit Card Defaults and Lower Credit Ratings
- Reduction in Network Size
- More Miles Being Awarded, Fewer Miles Being Redeemed
- Increased Opportunity for Arbitrage
- Less Appetite for Adjustments to the Balance Sheet
- Potential Partners Become More Wary
As the economy improves around the world, serious consideration of spinning off frequent flyer programs will once again be a hot topic of conversation. De Boer identifies likely carriers as those with "large legacies with a dominate program in a large and homogenous home market." Unlikely candidates are "airlines that dominate a small home market and serve a high percentage of transfer traffic through their respective hubs."

CMWA Earns Highest-Level KY SEN Award for Advances in Energy Management
CMWA Chairman & Chief Executive Officer Bernie Polzin (right) receives the Level Five KY SEN award from KPPC Executive Director Cam Metcalf.
PARIS, Ky. – Central Motor Wheel of America (CMWA) has earned recognition for their progress in reducing energy usage through the Kentucky Save Energy Now (KY SEN) initiative. The award was presented June 11, 2012, at the facility in Paris, Kentucky.
CMWA has been committed to environmental management and energy use reduction for a number of years, implementing many energy saving projects ranging from demand management, employee training and equipment shut-down policies to facility and equipment upgrades. The company signed the KY SEN pledge in 2010, committing to reduce energy use at their facility by 2.5 percent per year for 10 years. Since then, they have worked with KPPC engineers to strengthen their energy management program, and have been recognized at previous KPPC events for reaching the first four levels of achievement for KY SEN, including:
- Signing the program pledge form and developing an energy use baseline
- Instituting an energy policy, establishing a team and participating in training
- Identifying opportunities and developing an action plan
- Implementing the plan and periodically evaluating progress
This award presentation recognizes CMWA's success in reaching the final level of the program. Level Five requires companies to develop and implement an internal recognition program for their employees, and to mentor other KY SEN program participants as they seek to improve energy management at their facilities.
Internal Recognition
CMWA's internal recognition program is based on the 'Kaizen' system of continuous improvement, and obtains potential energy saving ideas from the CMWA team members. The award winning Kaizens are recognized at company meetings, prizes are awarded and photographs of the winners are displayed at this facility. A few examples of outside-the-box thinking generated through the process are past award-winning ideas of weekend chiller shutdowns, various lighting improvements including the switch to fluorescents, and installation of motion-sensor controlled lighting in low-traffic areas. These are great examples of how internal recognition and employee involvement can significantly benefit an energy management program.
Also as part of the Level Five status, CMWA has taken steps to mentor other KY SEN companies, helping them reach their energy use reduction goals. The company participates in KPPC's Kentucky Energy Alliance meetings around the state, presenting CMWA's energy saving success stories and project updates. The company has also signed up for the KY SEN Mentor Directory, agreeing to share experience and energy expertise with other KY SEN participants in the areas of: Lighting, HVAC, Motors, Combustion, Power Factor Quality, Chillers/Cooling Towers, Boilers, Compressed Air and Energy Management Programs.
See a video of the award presentation:
Presenting the award, KPPC Executive Director Cam Metcalf lauded the company's commitment to long-term energy savings. "KPPC's focus is not on seeing its clients achieve a one-time energy and cost savings, but on helping them build strong energy management programs that will realize year-after-year sustainable results. CMWA has made the commitment, and is achieving its goals of significant, long-term energy-use reductions and cost savings," he said.
CMWA is a joint venture of Central Motor Wheel of Japan, Ltd. (CMW) and Toyota Tsusho of America (TAI) located on 55.4 acres in Paris, KY. The company manufacture steel and aluminum wheels for the automotive industry through two divisions.

Enterprises are becoming more distributed, and their employees must be able to access the corporate network from anywhere. As a result, IT professionals must redesign enterprise networks to connect mobile workers with corporate resources, both quickly and securely.
While WAN optimization and application delivery technologies have been able to effectively accelerate business applications over traditional WAN links in the past, road warriors, rising telecom costs and cloud computing make broadband connectivity more appealing for organizations. Many acceleration technologies are not adequately equipped to handle corporate data across the Internet connectivity; and WAN optimization and application delivery technologies must evolve as well.
Given all these factors, how can enterprises navigate this evolving landscape of serving an increasingly distributed workforce?
This IT Decision Center will address the business and technology decisions that enterprise IT needs to address to provide optimized access to corporate data and applications to a far-flung workforce.

At first glance, Zubat seems to be pretty terrible due to its poor stats across the board, limited coverage, and weakness to Stealth Rock. However, it does have some moves that most other Flying-type Pokemon would kill for, namely Hypnosis, which allows Zubat to cripple counters, and Nasty Plot, which can boost Zubat's Special Attack to decent levels. In addition, Zubat's Poison / Flying typing offers it useful quad resistances to Bug, Fighting, and Grass. Overall, while Zubat may be inferior to many of the other Flying-type Pokemon in LC, it does have some unique qualities to that prevent it from being completely outclassed.
With 16 Speed, Zubat can effectively utilize a Choice Scarf set in order to scout and revenge kill the opponent. Brave Bird is Zubat's most powerful STAB attack, though the recoil damage may hurt. Pluck is a good alternative to Brave Bird since it allows Zubat to heal itself when attacking a Pokemon holding Oran Berry, though the power drop is significant. U-turn is a very useful attack, allowing Zubat to scout for counters that may want to switch in. Return provides good neutral coverage, and is its strongest attack without recoil. Finally, Pursuit allows Zubat to checkmate weakened Pokemon, while Hypnosis allows it to cripple Pokemon that are hard to deal with. However, being locked into Hypnosis is usually a very dangerous undertaking and should only be considered if you really need the surprise factor of a fast sleep.Team Options & Additional Comments >>>
Zubat has many defining qualities that allow it to become a viable lead. Taunt, coupled with 16 Speed, allow it to stop slow leads such as Hippopotas from setting up Stealth Rock. Pluck and Brave Bird are both viable options in the next slot, gaining STAB, and being able to OHKO Oran Berry Machop, a common lead in today's metagame. Hypnosis allows Zubat to incapacitate an opponent for a few turns, which enables Zubat to hurt it with Pluck or switch to a teammate that can take advantage of the sleeping opponent. Roost is also a viable option, healing off the recoil damage dealt from Brave Bird, while also allowing Zubat to deal more damage. U-turn allows Zubat to scout for counters, and allows the team to gain momentum.Team Options & Additional Comments >>>
Other Options
Surprisingly, Zubat has a couple of interesting other options to note. Quick Attack can be used to revenge kill easier, though it does poor damage overall without STAB. Super Fang can be used to slice the health of healthy walls such as Gligar and Aron in half, though it will only be effective early in the game when most Pokemon are at full health and the opponent's team hasn't been revealed. Fly is a viable STAB move, having more power than Pluck (unless it attacks a Pokemon holding Oran Berry), while not having recoil damage unlike Brave Bird. However, Pokemon that resist Fly can easily be easily switched in, making Fly a poor option. Zen Headbutt is an interesting option to strike Poison- and Fighting-type Pokemon without taking Brave Bird's recoil, but doesn't provide much use outside of that. Tailwind can allow Zubat to outspeed every Pokemon in the tier, while also doubling the Speed of its teammates. Unfortunately, Zubat is frail and better off dealing damage right off the bat; additionally, Tailwind only lasts for a mere three turns. Zubat has access to Nasty Plot as well as Heat Wave, Sludge Bomb, and Air Slash, but with a meager 30 base that would make even Bidoof laugh, Zubat won't be finding much use for it, even after a boost. Speaking of special attacks, Hidden Power Ground or Fighting can be used to deal with Rock-type Pokemon, which would otherwise easily counter Zubat. If a Hidden Power is used, Zubat should be using a Hasty nature. Finally, Zubat can run a weather support set, due to its access to Rain Dance, Sunny Day, and U-turn, which allows it to bring in a sweeper immediately.
Checks and Counters
Zubat has a handful of counters, but most of them can be easily alluded by Hypnosis. Nonetheless, the single best counters are Rock-type Pokemon, since they completely wall Zubat and can retaliate with super effective STAB attacks. Aron is the best example of this, being able to Rock Polish without fear of being KOed by any of Zubat's moves and OHKO Zubat with Head Smash while continuing to wreak havoc. Likewise, Bronzor can take on a majority of Zubat's moves and OHKO back with Psychic. Electric-type Pokemon that outspeed Zubat are great counters; Elekid is a good example, as it can outspeed Zubat and take it out with ThunderPunch. Since Zubat is frail, priority moves greatly harm it, especially Ice Shard. Pokemon such as Snover and Swinub can check Zubat with Ice Shard without worrying about getting hit in return. Finally, Gligar is a great counter to Zubat due to its impressive physical bulk and access to Stone Edge.

The past few MMO releases I have experienced have not been positive. Their popularity rises then falls faster than a firecracker's fuse. For many games, players chew through content like a fat man eating french fries. Any game that tries to slow things down is declared a grind-fest. SWTOR was the latest firecracker I played. Very few people seem to want to stick with it another month. Aion was the opposite, with a lengthy grind to keep players from blazing past the beautiful world and variety of content.
I miss the days of DAOC -- my first MMO. I played that game for several months just to get my first level 50. After that, I still made new characters and enjoyed the almost unlimited character specialization and RvR fights. DAOC's expansions were icing on the cake when they released. Most didn't like ToA, but I thought the concept was good. I'm hoping TSW will have some sort of plan to keep me playing for years, then expand on their game. However, what I have seen from their skill system seems like it could limit how far players can advance. It could be too early to tell, though.
Do you think TSW will burn fast and explode into nothingness, or last a long time and keep most subscribers interested in what could come in the next patch and expansion?

Hype (noun)
I've been asking the same question the last two days trying to decide whether I want to pre-order or not. After researching the game, I've come to the conclusion that it's going to be just another "firecracker" on a list of many. There's just really no end game content that's different than what's available now. The concept looks good, the crafting has good potential, but from everything I've seen the game looks shallow and unfinished.
And if you're looking for some kind of DAoC-ish end game, this game doesn't have it. I wish it did, believe me. It's just not there though.

I had a vision the other day, it was of TSW not living up to the expectations and crumbling down to nothing Matrix online style. I dont know why just a thought that crossed my mind, given the trend of people not settling for the same old theme park instance mmo.
I see this game going one of two ways, it going like I mentioned above or it being a sleeper hit sucess on a lower tone then other AAA mmos. With a game like this there is no other way to slice it when you answer a question such as the OP's, you have to be overly bold and brazen.
Nothing excites me more then TSW though, out of any game releasing this year. In the back of my mind I kinda know how its going to play out after watching game footage, its looking heavily instanced which I dont like at all and your standard mmo fare when it comes to combat from what Iv seen but If I couldnt bare those things I wouldnt consider my self a huge mmorpg fan which I am.
Only time will tell. Hopefully it will turn out to have enough of a long term fan base to keep it profitable and on the map.
I cant see it being too mainstream with the theme and setting. Plus the masses are so used to themeparks by now that breaking out of that comfort zone wont sit well with some.
I for one will be giving it a good shot for at least 3-6 months. And if it turns out like I hope for much longer.
Will see soon enuff I guess.
Neither, this game is really bad, good concept REALLY poor execution and its not even close to being ready for release in June. I love AoC even in its unfinished state upon release but TSW is 10 times worse.

People will try it, since the concept seems good on paper, but as for it being a long term game...dunno, I personally can't see it. For now it looks still unpolished but granted, I don't really know much about the endgame content and how exactly will the end game pvp go (crappy pvp=bye bye a lot of players).
But if they polish the game I'd be happy to call it home for quite some time, because I like the general idea of the game. Anyway, I'll play other stuff (Tera, GW2), TSW=fall back option ;)
P.S. Cash shop+sub=a big turn off too for a lot of people and a clear warning sign.

I think ThemePark MMORPGS are mostly "firecracker" type of games. Why? Because the devs. have to continually create content for a ThemePark to have longetivity and that will only happen, at an acceptable pace, if the game has enough subs to support that continual development costs.
So ThemePark MMOs either have to have enough content when released so to be able to have a sustained, large enough sub. base to allow for additional content to be added and then it needs to keep this sub. base for the content to keep being added.
Most ThemeParks either don't have enough initial content, so they lose a large chunk of subscribers in the first 4-6 months which in turn does not provide enough additional funds (additional to recouper the cost for creating the game) to develop significant new content. So what usually happens is that after 6-12 months, most ThemeParks, only have a skeleton crew to stay profitable but this also means that new content is released at a very slow pace.
AoC, WAR, CoX, CO, STO all either suffer from this or they have gone F2P to increase their profits to afford adding additional content. But to be honest I can't say that the F2P title conversions that I have seen has added that much content so even that wont help them in the long run.
Imo the answer to this problem is not to go F2P but develop an MMORPG where the players can create their own content, aka Sandbox. Unfourtunately that has proven not to be so popular so maybe the hybrid model which some upcoming MMORPGs are trying is the way forward because as it is right now, very few MMORPGs, are actually increasing or even sustaining their sub. base. Only one's I am aware of are WoW and Aion.

I'd rather not comment much on PvE since I'm not an avid PvE-er altho I usually do all the content. All in all, gear grind isn't everything if you can figure out other ways of keeping players happy (at which point MMOs mostly fail).

I hope it sticks around cause I love the setting, the three factions are interesting and the devs are doing some interesting things with the game.

The game may be good or bad. I have no idea myself yet. But he just bashes Funcom and TSW every chance he gets. Which pretty much makes everything he says invalid in my book.
I know they pissed you off royally. But not everyone shares your views. Be negative all you like. But at least provide some factual basis for your claims, cause right now you are just downing something just for the sake of bashing.
I downed ToR in the past. But at least I had bought it, played it, and could at least back up what I said. it was more than " SWTOR sucks, Trust me". Which is all your bringing to the table.

I built my damn comp for it! but just like many others I was let down by them releasing an incomplete game. Hell I even say in my post I loved AoC >.<. I also had really high hopes for TSW when I found out about it 2 yrs ago. I would rather save people money with my experience with the game.. but bottom line I can't even back up my claims because of NDA.. So you belive what you want.. I was unbiased when I first looked at the game, hell I was unbiased the 2nd and 3rd time and I came up with a completely unbiased opinion of the game that I hope will save some ppl some money.
>.< and how on earth is perhaps 10-12 posts about TSW of my 700+ posts bashing TSW every chance I get >.<
Originally posted by ariboersma
I get that you dont like it, but the way you present your negative view of the game seems like you have a grudge against Funcom. I get that too, after AoC many people do still to this day.
IMO if you want people to take what you say a bit more serious and a dont want to seem like just another hater then present what your saying in a better manner.
Also realize that even if TSW does suck many people are willing to buy it and give it a shot just BECAUSE its not wow in space and at least is trying something new and different. I - for one- hope it launches is a great condition, but even if it does not will still play it and see if they can shape it up. Why? because at least these guys have the nut sack to make something new, pass or fail they have some great ideas. For that alone I am willing to pony up $60 bucks.

I guess I am just too passionate about people wasting money when I have information that would prevent it. The game isn't all that different once you play it and the things that make it different end up making the game not fun. It have the same graphics as AoC and the questing is very ummmm normal? actually even less they tell you to go places but you have no idea why and they don't give you much information so you end up just following the marker to that location and then trying to puzzle out why you are there and what to do. Quests tend to update without you doing anything or knowing why they updated.. and I am not talking bugs.. this would make sense.. no this is like you walk into an area and all of a sudden you magically know something different and your quest objective is different even though nothing really happened. If you want something new try Tera or GW2. Tera has many flaws but its is probably the best looking game I have ever seen. Also i would say GW2 tried much more new stuff with a better combat, questing system and lack of tank/healer roles when compared to the usual MMOs. TSW is just the location and the lack of lvls but you sort of still lvl up...
I will say it again.. it was a GREAT concept but they did a really poor job of executing it.
Fair enough =)

I played it a bit at PAX. It's a suprisingly good game. Combat feels good, graphics are really nice, it's fairly challenging, the voicacting and cutscreens are great, and the overall ambiance is outstanding. It's an outstanding platform to build from, it's unique, and the game will be a lot of fun while content is unexplored. It also does things w/ questing that no other MMO really does (ie makes you think), which some people may really enjoy, and others might hate.
Having said that, the game seems to lack an ultimate direction. I haven't been able to dig up anything that resembles and end-game. And that would be perfectly fine if this was a sandbox, with sandboxy type tools... but it's not. The PvP is halfbaked too, which I think is a damn shame for a 3 faction game thats prime for it.
I think it's going to be a great game for casuals/normal players who maybe put in 5-10 hours a week. The type of people that really enjoy questing, exploring the world, absorbing the storylines; they are going to get a lot out of it. I think the Hardcore and goal oriented gamers are going to end up bored and twiddling their thumbs awfully damn fast. while Funcom scrambles to give them something to do.
The thing I've noticed as a general trend, is that if a game offers a lifetime sub... it is almost always lacking content to keep you engaged for a extended length of time.

I have been hoping some of the folks who got to play at PAX would chime in. What you describe ( minus the PvP part ) seems to fit me perfectly. Long gone are my days of Hardcore 16 hours a day MMO marathons. Being almost 40 with job and family responsibilities this sounds like it will be a good fit for me.
Hopefully they can flesh out the PvP some. But I am buying GW2 more for the PvP and TSW for the PvE and setting. As far asthe LTS offer goes I think I will be passing on that most likely. Never have bought one before and while I have thought about it for TSW I think a 3-6 month sub might be a better option.
Thanks again =)

Gotta Have IT is an all-in-one computing resource kit designed with educators' needs in mind. A select set of high-quality posters, computing and careers information, digital media and more, the resource kit builds awareness and inspires interest in computing.
Gotta Have IT is for all students, but is especially inclusive of girls. Read more about these resources here.
This attention-getting infographic summarizes the key findings from the Girls in IT report. Use this piece to raise awareness about ways to increase girls' participation in computing.

This slide deck is a companion piece to the NCWIT Talking Point Card Talk with Faculty Colleagues About Stereotype Threat (www.ncwit.org/stereotypethreattp). You can hand out the card to your colleagues and then share these slides at a faculty meeting.
This Top 10 resource offers recommendations for attracting and hiring highly qualified diverse technical employees into start-up companies. The recommendations include attention to casting a wide inclusive net, stereotyped language and decor, as well as some more cutting-edge approaches.
Companies that establish organizational accountability for diversity, whether in the form of full-time diversity staff or a diversity task force, are more likely to increase the representation of women and minorities in management than companies that use only mentoring or diversity training programs. Five years ago, Company ABC began the process of establishing formal accountability for diversity because company leaders saw diversity as necessary to retain employees, foster better business practices, compete nationally and internationally, and better respond to client needs.
Research shows that even individuals committed to equality harbor unconscious biases that impact everyday decisions and interactions. In the IT workplace, unconscious gender bias can mislead employers, both male and female, to make inaccurate judgments in hiring, performance reviews, and promotion. This case study highlights findings on the differences between letters of recommendation for women and men and gives practical ways to reduce bias when writing letters of recommendation.
Women and minority students are not in computing courses under the same conditions as their white male classmates. Instructional practices offer opportunities to level the playing field and improve the retention of underrepresented students. Professor William Waite abstained from lecturing his students on assigned reading and relied instead on the students to direct the information discussed in the classroom.
Targeted recruiting means planning strategically: set quantifiable goals; identify large, capable audiences; personalize the content of your message; deliver that message in media that are relevant to your audience; and pay attention to people who influence your audience's decision-making. GESET annually introduces 1,200 middle school girls to the importance of STEM and IT education through hands-on activities and presentation of real-life applications of technology.
International Women's Day-in-a-Box: Raising Awareness, Igniting Change is designed to help IT companies and departments celebrate successes and address barriers to women's full participation in IT, and capitalize on women's innovative thinking and leadership potential. If your organization is eager to promote diversity in order to become globally competitive, then International Women's Day-in-a-Box is for you. Use this resource to plan company activities and events, and to establish a culture and expectation for broader diversity of thought in IT.
Roadshow-in-a-Box is a complete set of resources developed for colleges and universities wanting to establish or enhance their roadshow outreach programs. It draws on the wisdom and practices of a variety of successful roadshow programs that focus on recruiting for diversity and put trained student presenters in a leading role. The Box includes program advice, templates, and sample materials to aid your efforts in every aspect of a sustainable roadshow program. Components include: Controlled Message, Support, Ongoing School Partnerships, Trained Student Presenters, Program Activities, and Evaluation and Tracking.

More than 40 years of data on authors of ACM conference papers describe women's contribution to this important aspect of computing professional life. The data show that women's authorship increased substantially over time, and that relative to their representation in the likely pool of ACM conference paper authors, women Ph.D.s were especially productive. Initial tests indicate that the increase in women's share of papers was due in large part to the increase in number of women in the community of potential authors.

Sky Bet Championship: Yeovil Town 2, Charlton Athletic 2
Updated 5:00pm Saturday 7th December 2013 in Sport By Alex O'Loughlin
This live event has finished
- Yeovil Town 2 Charlton Athletic 2
- Ishmael Miller penalty secures comeback.
- Alex O'Loughlin reporting
Thank you for joining me at Huish Park this afternoon, a full match report will be available soon via www.yeovilexpress.co.uk/sport
A thrilling second half here at Huish Park as Yeovil come from 2-0 down to salvage a point thanks to an own goal and a penalty from Ishmael Miller.
Charlton had gone into the break 2-0 up thanks to strikes from Cameron Stewart and Johnnie Jackson.
Inches from a third Yeovil goal. Ishmael Miller's measured effort from20 yards rolls inches wide of the target with Alnwick beaten.
It's getting worse for Charlton. Captain Johnnie Jackson receives a straight red card for a two footed tackle on Joe Edwards.
GOAL! Stunning comeback from Yeovil. Joel Grant is felled in the box and Ishmael Miller makes no mistake from 12 yards.
The hosts have a goal back. Joel Grant's cross deflects off of Michael Morrison for an own goal.
1-2 with a little under 20 minutes remaining.
Yellow card shown to Kevin Dawson for a little kick out at Yann Kermorgant.
First sub for the Addicks as the experienced Andy Hughes replaces Jordan Cousins.
Another good save from Dunn, this time to claw away Simon Church's acrobatic effort from 12 yards.
Sub James Hayter manages to find an inch of space in a congested Charlton box but his effort drifts harmlessly wide.
Close to a third for Charlton as Jordan Cousins flashed an effort just wide of the post from long range.
Final substitution for Yeovil as Liam Davis limps off and is replaced by Jamie McAllister.
This match is starting to hot up now.
Two penalty shouts in quick succession for Yeovil as first Ishmael Miller is held in the box before James Hayter goes down under a challenge. Nothing given.
Joe Edwards is next to go close for Yeovil. The midfielder's effort from the edge of the box flies just over the bar.
It would appear Kevin Dawson has been brought on to deal with the threat of Cameron Stewart who was certainly the danger man in the first half.
We're back underway at Huish Park and there's been a double substitution for the Glovers.
OFF Adam Morgan & John Lundstram
ON James Hayter & Kevin Dawson
Theres no glossing over it sadly, this is a very, very poor performance compared to what we've seen in the past week #ytfc— @BlackthornStand 07 December 2013
Yeovil Town 0-2 Charlton Athletic.
Not a classic here at Huish Park but Charlton have been clinical in front of goal. Efforts from Cameron Stewart and Johnnie Jackson give them a two goal lead at the break.
It's a second goal for the visitors. Stewart's lofted ball to the back post is headed past a stranded Dunn by Johnnie Jackson.
Thatchers Stand very quiet today #ytfc— @tuppence1976 07 December 2013
GOAL! Former Yeovil loanee Cameron Stewart gives the Addicks the lead after cutting in from the left flank and bending an effort past Dunn.
Now 30 mins gone. Still 0-0. Yeovil have grown into game as half goes on. A few long range chances for Lundstram and Davis #ytfc— @ytfcciderspace 07 December 2013
Fantastic save from Chris Dunn.
Cameron Stewart cut in from the left before unleashing an effort that was destined for the top corner. Dunn's fingertips prevent an opening goal.
Liam Davis' fierce strike from 25 yards is collected well by Ben Alnwick. The home side are beginning to create chances.
Very even opening 20 minutes here at Huish Park.
Possession: Yeovil 48% Charlton 52%
Yellow card shown to Charlton's Lawrie Wilson for a cynical foul on Joel Grant.
First shot of the game goes Yeovil's way. John Lundstram's half volley from 25 yards fizzes just over the bar.
Both sides struggling to find any rhythm early on.
Early yellow card for Yeovil's Shane Duffy for felling Yann Kermorgant.
We're underway at Huish Park with Yeovil attacking the Copse Road end in the first half.
Both teams are out on the pitch here at Huish Park.
Before kick off there will be a minute's applause to commemorate the life of Nelson Mandela who died earlier this week.
Just ten minutes until kick off here at Huish Park. Here's a reminder of the two starting line-ups:
24. Chris Dunn 12. Ben Alnwick
2. Luke Ayling 23. Lawrie Wilson
5. Byron Webster (c) 5. Michael Morrison
15. Shane Duffy 6. Dorian Dervite
21. Liam Davis 16. Rhoys Wiggins
4. Joe Edwards 24. Jordan Cousins
8. Ed Upson 4. Johnnie Jackson (c)
31. John Lundstram 8. Dale Stephens
23. Joel Grant 32. Cameron Stewart
27. Ishmael Miller 18. Yann Kermorgant
29. Adam Morgan 9. Simon Church
Despite Yeovil boasting the better form coming in to this match this afternoon, Gary Johnson's side are winless in the seven previous league meetings between the two sides.
However, the Glovers did come out on top in the League Cup in 2008 when they defeated the Addicks 1-0.
Two former Yeovil players are involved for Charlton this afternoon.
Striker Simon Church spent a spell on loan in Somerset from Reading in 2008 making six appearances, whilst winger Cameron Stewart made five appearances for the Glovers in 2010 whilst on loan from Manchester United.
Still no place in the Yeovil squad for transfer listed striker Paddy Madden, whilst Wigan loanee Fraser Fyvie is missing for the third game running, suggesting his loan from the Latics is all but over.
Charlton Athletic starting XI: Alnwick; Wilson, Wiggins, Dervite, Morrison; Stewart, Jackson (c), Cousins, Stephens; Kermorgant, Church.
Just one change for the visitors, then, with captain Johnnie Jackson replacing Cedric Evina who drops to the bench.
No surprise that Gary Johnson has stuck with the starting eleven who have won the last two matches keeping two clean sheets in the process.
On loan Bristol City defender Liam Fontaine the unlucky 'sixth loan' to miss out on a space in the matchday squad.
Yeovil Town starting XI: Dunn; Ayling, Webster, Duffy, Davis; Edwards, Upson, Lundstram, Grant; Miller, Morgan.
Bench: Stewart, Foley, Hayter, Dawson, Ralls, Hoskins, McAllister.
Yeovil Town will be hoping to record their third straight victory in the Sky Bet Championship at home to fellow strugglers Charlton Athletic this afternoon.
A win for the Glovers would see them leapfrog their opponents and exit the relegation zone.

I have been back and forth with the name Shea for a boy. Somedays I like the uniqueness and the casualness about and other days I simply don't like it. I guess that means its out.i really need some ideas.
I really like sporty names with a surfer beach appeal. I live on the coast. I have 3 boys Kellan,Jesse and Jameson.
I don't care for old names,but I like names that can grow with them.i also don't care for popular names.
Here a few that are on our list,btw we don't know what we are having
Christian( middle only) family name
Daniel(middle only ) family name.
I like crew,only if it had a longer version and Cruz or cruise are not options.
Thank you for helping,I m stuck
My husband said he really likes Avery. What do you think? Is it too girly. I find it masculine.
